Some people can find what they are looking for in anything and everything. Sadly, what they see in everything tells more about themselves and how their own biases control them.

* People that may happen to lose a job even more than once, to a minority and mistakenly put it together that the minority person was given preference and they gat an attitude about that from that experience.

The list is endless. Perhaps I was fortunate that while I did have some negative experiences growing up on the South Side of Chicago, and riding a bus was attacked by a couple of black guys, and my dad was robbed at night in downtown Chicago by several armed black guys. But even after that both my dad and I had black friends that were great people and we enjoyed their company. We were able to distinguish that there was bad and good in ALL people. I was also fortunate that I was in a band in High School where it was a makeup of a bunch of guys from all backgrounds. A black singer, Puerto Rican drummer, European keyboard player, Texan bass player and such. So I had the blessed experience of having friends from all types

I however can easily distinguish that the BLM movement is anything BUT what the media would have you think. they are NOT representative of the real African American people. I also happen to know a number of Hispanics who are originally from Mexico, and they have little respect for those trying to come across the border with NO qualifications or desires to work. They agree it is nasty and stupid to support them not working or having anything to bring to this country to enhance it as opposed to sucking off it. So there you have it. The good, bad.....and ugly of race relationships. It's all about what they REALLY are, not what is portrayed by media and such. Don't judge a person till you've actually interacted with them. THEN call them a useless piece of

I had to read this twice, but yes you are correct. We all have certain biases but in the end show me how you really are. Then those biases will either be confirmed or denied. Don’t mean to simplify but most can see the difference. I will have less bias if you show me you are real and don’t have an unreal agenda.

I don't think the conspiracy on the left that the 9/11 attack was perpetrated by the Bush government has gone away.

I'm not even a leftist and frankly anyone that does their homework is well aware that the Bush family is a member in good standing of the Illuminati. If you don't think the Illuminati are the ones truly running the show you probably think George Soros is a philanthropist. LOL. NOT! If you looked at some not so well hidden facts, prior to the 9/11 attack a certain Mr. Atta, the ringleader and organizer of the entire thing was being tracked by the FBI for months. A week prior he was told (guess who by) to stop tracking him. Hmmm what do you think the ramifications were of THAT? Hmmm That's just for starters.

It's a source thing.

I don't know who started the "9/11 truth" conspiracy, but if the same well-known guy had also been making claims about Bush being secretly arrested and Al Gore being the real president in the background, and a global cabal being shot in front of everyone on the Whitehouse lawn in 2008, and then it turned out that none of that happened - people would have been much less likely to believe the 9/11 stuff. But there wasn't a single source who made these claims, it's just a one-off conspiracy spread around by many.

Q has no credibility because they have been wrong on everything, especially the big things.

Of course, it seems that the 9/11 stuff is believed more by rightwingers these days, I guess with enough distance from Bush and still in the anti-government wheelhouse of conspiracies. People are even electing these idiots.

Gee and I thought people who believed in QAnon were whack jobs until I read the above two posts.

Q has credibility with me for being able to dream up all this stuff and then being able to cash in on the Trump supporters.

Looking forward to March 4th, and then what Q comes up with after nothing happens on that day.

Yes. I can imagine him sitting at his computer and thinking "There's no way they will swallow this. This is too crazy." But they fall for it.

All extremism on the right = a common belief in white superiority. Give it a name, KKK, Qnutz, 3% dingbats, etc..racism the main meal, everything else just side trimmings.
They have always been with us, and they will always be with us. Only solution is to live where there are more good guys than bad guys, and use your vote to minimize the real impact they can have on our social structure.
If the dingbat, racist Mayor was appointed, than vote out those who appointed him.
